Question 47 NECO_MODEL_QUESTIONS_VOL1 • 2024 • BIOLOGY • objective

In a plant cell the water potential is \(-0.3\) MPa. The cell's pressure potential is \(0.2\) MPa. The external solution has a solute potential of \(-0.5\) MPa and negligible pressure potential. (i) State the direction of net water movement. (ii) If the solute potential of the external solution is given by \(\psi_s = -i C R T\) with \(i=1\), \(R = 0.0831\) L·MPa·K\(^{-1}\)·mol\(^{-1}\) and temperature \(T = 298\) K, calculate the solute concentration \(C\) (in mol L\(^{-1}\)) to three significant figures.

Answer Options

A. Water moves into the cell; external solute concentration = 0.015 mol L⁻¹
B. Water moves into the cell; external solute concentration = 0.020 mol L⁻¹
Correct Answer C. Water moves out of the cell; external solute concentration = 0.020 mol L⁻¹
D. Water moves out of the cell; external solute concentration = 0.025 mol L⁻¹
Correct Answer
C
Correct Option:
Water moves out of the cell; external solute concentration = 0.020 mol L⁻¹
